Maintenance on Meteorological Masts
As part of an ongoing remit as a technical advisor to Forewind Limited, the Renewables Consulting Group (RCG) team in the UK provided support for an operations and maintenance trip to the two meteorological masts on Dogger Bank. The met masts are collecting valuable wind, wave, atmospheric and marine traffic data for the four wind farms consented on Dogger Bank. The campaign took around 15 days to complete.
A team of 22 personnel including representatives from Forewind and one of its owner companies Statkraft, as well as contractors and RCG as client’s representative, set sail from Newcastle last week on board the 78m offshore supply vessel VOS Sympathy.
The team carried out inspections and scheduled maintenance work on both Dogger Bank Met Mast East, located approximately 100 kilometres from the UK coast, and Dogger Bank Met Mast West, sited 150 kilometres from the coast.
